DR.RON PAUL vs. o-BOMB-a: Amy Goodman reveals Barack, as the neoCON that he is.
Amy Goodman of Democracy Now! lifts the veil of true neoCON cloak that O-bomb-a has been hiding under. The relevant portion starts at 12:40 mark. http://media.switchpod.co...
In the brief interview at a book signing at Cooper Union, NYC, Amy Goodman asks him why he has NOT called for a complete pullout of US forces from Iraq.
Barack completely, slyly, evades the question and advocates the NEED for 140,000+ "private contractors," because otherwise YOU would have to fight it. "Oh, I do [want withdrawal]. Except for Embassy... (oBomBa stutters a bit, as he often does, retracting in recoil, to rationalize) ... embassy and to uh...uh...uh... protecting OUR civilian contractors..." As if soldiers who get $25,000 a year, is currently NOT protecting mercenaries who make over $250,000 a year with better equipment, weapons, and armor, already? Protecting oil co.'s corporatist/fascist "interests??"
DemocracyNow's own transcripts: "[ ___ ]" bracketed commentary and CAPS, except the names and " [inaudible]," are my own insertions.
--------------------------------------------------------
AMY GOODMAN: Senator Obama, quick question: 70 percent of Iraqis say they want the US to withdraw completely; why don’t you call for a total withdrawal?
SEN. BARACK OBAMA: Well, I do, except for our embassy [the size of Vatican]. I call for AMNESTY [for torturing and haphazard killing of innocent civilians, by mercs and the insurgents that US military itself have armed to quell opposing factions.] and PROTECTing OUR CIVILIAN CONTRACTORS [mercentaries] there.
AMY GOODMAN: You’ve said a RESIDUAL ["advisory force" which can get easily caught between civil war, tribal strife or have "peace and humanitarian mission" turn into a bloody militant one] force—
SEN. BARACK OBAMA: Yeah, but—
AMY GOODMAN: —which means [inaudible] thousands [inaudible].
SEN. BARACK OBAMA: Well, no. I mean, I don’t think that you’ve read exactly what I’ve said. What I said is that we DO NEED to HAVE a STRIKE FORCE in the region. It doesn’t necessarily have to be in Iraq; it could be in Kuwait or other places. But we do HAVE TO HAVE SOME PRESENCE in order to not only protect them, but also potentially to PROTECT their TERRITORIAL INTEGRITY. [ie. policing of the world, nation building and protecting our fascist/corporatist's investments in the region.]
AMY GOODMAN: Can you call for a ban on the private military contractors like Blackwater?
SEN. BARACK OBAMA: I’ve actually—I’m the one who sponsored the bill [yes, Amy, I'm evading your question, because my Wall St. masters told me I cannot ban anything. I'll give you a non-binding bill that doesn't investigate anything or punish, but looks good.] that called for the investigation of Blackwater in [inaudible], so—
AMY GOODMAN: But would you support the Sanders one now?
SEN. BARACK OBAMA: Here’s the problem: we have 140,000 private contractors right there, so unless we want to replace all of or a big chunk of those with US troops, we can’t draw down the contractors faster than we can draw down our troops. So what I want to do is draw—I want them out in the same way that we make sure that we draw out our own combat troops. Alright? I mean, I—
AMY GOODMAN: Not a ban? [You mean you still want to pay these murderous mercs like BlackWater to kill innocent civilians??]
SEN. BARACK OBAMA: Well, I don’t want to replace those contractors with more US troops, because we don’t have them, alright? But this was a speech about the economy. [because as far as I'm concerned, economy is like TOTALLY separate from our failed foreign policy. Ron Paul doesn't know what he's talking about. Our Federal Reserve will print more "liquidity" so we can further finance with debt this war and occupation, so we can continue to enrich my Wall St. masters. Amy, certainly you're not suggesting you want more American boys and girls to be drafted to fight, do you?]
AMY GOODMAN: The war is costing $3 trillion, according to Stiglitz.
SEN. BARACK OBAMA: That’s what—I know [not about Stieglitz's numbers, but what I've been told I'm allowed to say], which I made a speech [not written by me] about last week. Thank you.
--------------------------------------------------------
Yes, let's continue to support BlackWater and other mercenaries, to fight a proxy war, that NO SANE American would support, at this point, while further bankrupting us. Gee, let's see... wasting money on war, sending America's volunteer military into the meat grinder for $3trillion, or send mercs and pay them the $3trillion.... Decisions, decisons...
O-bomb-a Wants interventionist "stability" you know, like the one that the Federal Reserve knows all to well.
This is "change?" How?
First off, to those who may not be that familiar with Obomba's REAL voting records, the following may surprise his "Peace" candidate and agent of "change" propaganda. He voted FOR the following:
1. Extension of the Patriot Act, as he was NOT a Senator immediately following 9/11. But this is worse because IF a Senator, or a Rep, was short sighted and wanted political expediency, and voted for the Patriot Act initially, but after watching how ludicrous it has become, come time for renewal votes against it, while truly Constitutionally UNFORGIVABLE, at least it is understandable, IF they were to vote AGAINST it, second time around. But Obomba had a chance to see what it did. Yet, he voted to extend this tyrannical measure. So he voted to CONTINUE to support secret and indefinite detention and TORTURE, of Americans and foreigners, alike. Charming.
2. EVERY INCREASE in war appropriations for the illegal UNCONSTITUTIONAL war and nation building in BOTH Iraq and Afghanistan.
3. The Creditcard industry crafted Bankruptcy Reform Act: Pulling a John Kerry, he voted FOR the bill, first, before he voted against it. IF you research his reasons for the shift, from sites like http://www.GovTrack.US one will quickly recognize his excuses are all non-sequitur. He voted against it when he knew it was SURE to pass, just to score points to infer that he is against it, to his liberal base.
Obomba, while touting his anti-war bona fides, convenient, since he wasn't in Congress at the time, now, when pressed, says that he would have voted FOR the war, if he had received the same intel that the Senate did, then in 2002-2003. This, coming from a Harvard grad, in the age of Google, what an informed 5yr old would have known with a few key strokes, the rest of the morons in Congress who have access to classified intel couldn't figure out? And yet, he is parroting "We is stupid," propaganda? Nonsense!
Ask ANY former intel professional like fmr.CIA, Robert Steele, he'd tell you that nearly 90% of all intel comes from open sources, like reading news reports, albeit, from all across the globe. He compares that to America having to waste $3.3 billion a day to give the Pres. a daily intel briefing. Imagine where else that kind of money can go?
True, $3.3 billion/day is but a mere fraction of the $44 billion a yr. in listed intel budget, plus another small portion of the $3 Trillion, listed and unlisted, budget of the DOD, whose annual budget DOES NOT include the cost of this war, which the Nobel Prize winning economist who formerly held the Chief Economist post at the WorldBank/IMF, Joseph Stieglitz said to additionally cost $3 TRILLION, by itself. This in a nation utterly bankrupt, financially and morally, is NOT helping.
Plus, Obomba's chief foreign policy advisor is none other than the neoCRAT, Zbiegniew Brzezinksi, the "peace" President, Jimmy Carter's National Security Advisor. http://en.wikipedia.org/w...
Zbieggie is also the co-founder of the Rockefeller's TriLateral Commission. And an odd point of note: While my computer program's ENGLISH spellchecker apparently still thinks the "internet" is a misspelled term, and does not exist, it has NO such problem recognizing a Polish name like Zbigniew Kazimierz Brzezinski, with no problem. No conspiracy. But I just find it odd that Microsoft still insists on flagging Google, the internet, in its spell checker, but not an non-english word like "Brzezinski."
In the late 1970's, Zbieniew, together with the current Secretary of Defense, Robert "I lost more nukes under my watch, than in the last 50yrs combined" Gates, founded the Arab/Muslim Brotherhood mercenary network, led by Tim Osmond(s) a.k.a. Osama bin Forgotten. Referred to in the Western MSM as "Freedom Fighters of the Afghani Mujahadeen movement," it is better known in intel circles as "the network," or the data-"base" which is exactly what Al-qaeda literally means, "The [data]Base." From this point forth, might as well call it "al-CIA-da."
And who is o-BOMB-a's chief economics advisor? Austan Goolsby. The now infamous man, who was revealved thanks to his Canadian counterpart, during an "off the record" conversation about NAFTA. Well, Goolsby is the graduate of the University of Chicago's School of bullsh*t "freemarket," pro-military interventionist, pro-corporatist/fascist, pro-protectionist, pro-managed trade, Economics, in the SAME EXACT neoCON vein as Irving and his idiot son, Bill Kristol.
Plus with a name like Goolsby, you knew he had to belong to some elitist creepy secret society. Like John Kerry, and the entire BushCrimeFamilia, Austan is also a member of the Geronimo Skull stealing, masturbate in front of other members to be inducted, Yale secret society, the Skull and Bones.
"Change," you say? You mean like from Bush1, to Clinton, Bush2, to Bush^3??
As you can see, a champion of the Constitution o-BOMB-a is not. Nor is he the champion of the working class.
Furthermore, those o-BOMB-a supporters who may be lurking here, who co-opted "change" from the Ron Paul RƎVO⅃UTION, should be aware of the following:
EVERY DEMOCRAT is feeding you a line of bull when they tell you that they cannot END the war/occupation. According to the Constitution, EVERY war appropriation is MANDATED EXPLICITLY to be a 2-year funding. Period. And Nancy (my family owns 9 exclusive restaurants that FORBID unions, but I love telling my San Francisco constituents that I fight for labor union rights) Pelosi, as the Speaker of the House, she essentially has the sole prerogative in deciding what bill leaves the committee and reaches the House Floor, for "debate." So ALL she had to do, was to LET the previous 109th Congress' war funding to expire. Period. Simply not letting a renewal bill to reach the Floor, or just let the last appropriation expire, and NOT pass any NEW bill, would have, IN FACT, ended the war.
Simply put, if the Do-Nothing-Congress, in fact, DID nothing, the illegal, unConstitutional war/occupation would be OVER. FINITO. Done. Kaputt!!
They want the excuse to blame W and the neoCONS. While those traitors are are fully culpable for millions of souls lost, EQUALLY are the Congress for abdicating their Constitutional duty to declare war and hand it off to the Executive. As it is playing out now, they're calling this "Bush's War." Is it? Is it anymore than the "Gang of 534" in Congress' War? (535 Total scum, minus one Doctor Paul=534) Any more than the WallSt.'s military-industrial-complex's war? Fake News Channel's war? Worse, the Sheeple's War?
Time for us to clearly recognize that ALL THREE "leading" candidates whom support, whom literally financed the deaths of 1million plus Iraqis and Afghanis, 4000 lost Americans live, plus about 15,000 unaccounted lives lost: if a soldier dies in an helicopter evac en route to a hospital, say in Rahmstein, Germany, that does not count as a "battlefield death." Nor does complications from IED wounds, hours, days, weeks, or even years down the line. The true cost and casualties are STAGGERING. Not to mention visible injuries, and psychological, like PTSD, and domestic complications, etc.
So if fact, in November, if YOU vote for anyone, but our Good Doctor Ron Paul, you WILL not merely be voting for lesser of two evils, as the cliche goes, but YOU, yes, YOU, will be voting FOR WAR CRIMINALS.
Please be mindful of that.
Vigilance, Ron Paul RƎVO⅃UTIONaries!!!

Amy is another....
Gate keeper.
I have never heard her talk about the good Dr. other than
in passing. If she was as pro freedom and liberty as she
makes herself out to be, why isn't she all over our movement?
Just a thought.
Re: Amy is another gatekeeper.
Hello Nui!
Thanks for the reply. And you are right. Of course Amy Goodman is a leftgate keeper!!!
But really, if you read someone's work long enough, you can still pull what you need out of it, gather info to discern for yourself. If you are not SOLELY dependent on that one resource to package to you a "news." Plus, when you do know, where your own views lie, then you can do so without some fear of being sucked into her leftist idelogy.
Surely, messenger is important, but so is the nature of the content.
Would you not read a lie being perpetuated by a neoCON hack "reporter" like Robert Novak, just because you think he's a neoCON? Wouldn't you rather know what he said about issue x, or Ron Paul, before dropping a reply or a rebuttal??
Would it not serve you better to hear what, even your enemies are saying so that you can provide a better, more specific rebuttal? Allow me to pull a Coppola cliche, "Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer."
Real news is what you read in between the lines, as in multiple sources. Ask anyone in intel. They'll tell you that most of their intel is from reading newspapers, and reports. The classified stuff and personal contacts only make up a fraction of intel. Also if you don't know the context in which the info your contact is telling you, you get to have an idiot taxi driver appropriately named "Curb ball" to sell you a bad intel. Worse, your $2 TRILLION a year military buy into it. Worse your 150 million of your 300 million sleeping sheeple get sold on it. And you get 4000 fudged number, but reported, Americans dead and one million plus innocent Iraqis and Afghanis dead. All over an intel received from a guy named "Curb ball." He threw a curb ball, alright. Of course they knew what they were doing it. They've wanted regime change since 1998, under Clinton, as Ron Paul so bravely pointed out. But that was the rationale the neoCONs used. And sheeple who only watched and read one news source, the Fake News Channel, bought the lie deeper than anyone.
So the lesson? Inform yourself with multiple, often opposing resources. Somewhere in between all the clutter and propaganda lies the truth.
Ask former Soviet era residents. They read the Pravda. But also knew, it was the Pravda. Then they learned to read page A8 and B19 and learned the truth lay somewhere in between.
Key being plural, resourceS. And reading in between the lines. How else would you learn who is telling the truth and who isn't, unless you have a frame of reference for comparison?
Besides, no one is looking to turn to MSM or the so called alt.media, and expect them to abandon their decades of investment into their own false left and right paradigm, and suddenly endorse Ron Paul.
Perhaps, you may be looking for advocacy, but I'm simply looking for the info for me to discern for myself. Even if she were to endorse Ron Paul or join our movement, it'd still have little to no bearing on how I view events. I'm not looking for what Amy has to say. But I am looking for how she frames her questions, and how O-bomb-a answers them. It is a far more revealing way to learn info, than to be invested in looking to nest my freedom honeypoints to some reporter.
Just a thought.
-cheers Nui!!!

Good question.
Good question.
The contractor problem..
.. needs to be solved by inducting all of the contractors into the military immediately and kicking the corporations out.
The military needs to do it's own services, construction and supply like they've always done. The SeaBees build stuff and soldiers can do KP and latrine duty... just like they've always done. No dang reason whatsoever we should be paying private citizens and corporations 10 times or more than the standard military salaries.
Let the soldiers have all that money. Their pay sux...
It's crazy...
I'd second the inreased pay for military!!
With higher pay, perhaps, we'd actually be able to compete, somewhat, with the private intel sector, mercs, and other "contractors." Along with higher pay, we need to stress recruiting people of higher caliber skills and morals as well; as the need for more bodies to throw into the grinder increased, the lower the recruitment prerequisites became.
Now, you don't even need to be a citizen to join the military. In fact, illegal immigrants and visa immigrants from foreign nations are actively being sought out. And in case of merc co.'s those immigrants also face lower pay and discriminations, yet are promised fast track to citizenship. Now, where have I heard that con before? Right... the same line the human smugglers always use.
Though legal resident aliens have always been allowed to join the military with the promise of citizenship, now the many are directly from other nations, without having worked here with greencard for years. The new batch of visa holder to recruit, is more of matter of weeks and months.
Now even felonies and convictions don't matter. Nor does GED. No better way to train people to turn against its own populace and militarily police them, than to have disgruntled foreigners who are not well versed in our Constitutional traditions.
Though really, with stock options and nominally higher profit potential, working for govt will NEVER be a competition to the private sector.
But bigger problem seems to be the brain drain. And furthermore, the way they are induced out of the system. Within the confines of the military industrial complex-lobby structure, it is not uncommon to see, as was the case for Boeing, a couple of years ago, to have a gvt employee who was supposed to be in charge of the contract bidding process, to retire, the go work for the very company that he/she awarded the contract to, while under govt's employ. Now if that is not corruption I do not know what is.
At the current rate of brain drain to the private sector, we're gonna end up with more private military intel network, accountable only to the all mighty $$, as if that ain't the case already. Blackwater, while largest and the most famous, is not the only private mercenary firm in the world, with their own intel network, satellites, paramilitary army, navy, and airforce.
Scary prospect indeed. Post-John Warner Defense Authorization Act, which obliterated the Posse Commitatus Act of 1878, just imagine the likes of Blackwater, as they did under DHS contract in NOLA, Katrina, busting down doors, patrolling American streets like they own it, killing innocent civilians randomly, as they do in Iraq and Afghanistan, let alone our own military turning their barrels on us.
Unfortunately, in some sense, a govt with a strong standing military force would always have a need for an element of the military industrial complex, built in. Simply because the Govt does not produce anything. Though it could, if we were a blatant corporatist/fascist State-own biz paradigm of defense industries, like China and Europe. But the fact remains, we simply don't. Yet, anyways.
So the govt, currently is not in the business of building tanks, aircrafts, or ICBM's, or even smallarms. It HAS to be contracted out. So REFORM is absolutely needed. I'd love to see the specifics of what Ron Paul admin may do there. Because as an Anti-Statist, my biggest concern is the cozy military industrial complex relationship that so pervades everything we do these days. Not to mention the fact, like it or not, that most, if not all, technological advances in our modern history has Pentagon's DARPA ancestry: including the internet, not to mention plastics, synthetic rubber tires, fetilizers, insulations, ALL synthetic fibers and fabrics, including the initial rationale for Eisenhauer's national highway system, on and on..
That nexus between govt and military industries still remain the GREATEST threat to our Republic. I hate to admit it, or even promote it as an Ant-Statist , but there needs to be a robust regulatory structure there. Even Ron Paul advocated regulation when it comes to industries that produce goods and technology with serious national security implications like nuclear and missile and other hitech weapons technologies. This may be the only area in which I would agree to a strict and robust regulation, of companies that deal in military contracts with the govt. Absolutely.
As for certain relevance of menial duties like cleaning latrines in the military deployment context, I can only testify from second or third hand and what I gather from the various alt.news. But despite the violent madness and quagmire that they are suddenly dropped into when sent to Iraq and Afghanistan, I do hear from many returning soldiers say that there does tend to be lots of down time on tours.
Within that context, perhaps, sometimes doing non-military, non-tactical related work may counter the stress of life or death patrols that they are forced to do. Of course I'm sure most would rather spend their down time with a book, videogame, internet surfing, meditation, or simply just resting, some routine cleaning work may not be completely out of bounds, as the military have always required their personnel to do, throughout history.
But I'm sure those who have been in combat can attest to such situations better than I or anyone else could.
But yeah, Loco, indeed.
Vigilance, Ron Paul RƎVO⅃UTIONaries!!!
